Restaurant Review: German Doner Kebab in Manchester*

We were recently invited to try out the food at German Doner Kebab, this is a fast food retail outlet which opened in Berlin in 1989 but has since grown its franchise and you can find its outlets all over the UK.

There are two outlets in Manchester, but we were invited to their newly opened store in Oxford Road.  it is a busy area filled with lots of students and the shop was already buzzing when we popped over on a weekday morning.

Their set up is simple with lots of bar stools and casual dining on the group floor, while the upstairs area had tables which could easily sit a larger group of 5.

What did we think of the food at German Doner Kebab?

It was easy to get to the Restaurant as we took the train into Manchester and walked from Piccadilly Train Station which took us around 10-15 minutes.

The area was bustling with lots of students and the restaurant was easy to spot as well. Once inside the staff were friendly and helped us with our order.  We did not have to wait long for the food to arrive, and as you would expect, their kebabs are made from quality ingredients that are exclusive to Doner Kebab Restaurants. I would say that their taste comes mainly from their sauces and this really sets their kebabs apart from the other shops.

I ordered the Original Doner Kebab with mixed meat of chicken and beef as this was their best selling Kebab, we chose chips  as our side dish and it also came with 3 sauces ie their signature garlic sauce, signature spicy sauce and signature yoghurt sauce. Although it is a fast food meal, I did not feel unhealthy after eating it, as there were lots of fresh vegetables and the meat was not grisly.  I enjoyed eating the Doner Kebab and the sauces were delicious especially the spicy sauce and garlic sauce.

Lex ordered the Doner Durum Wrap with a side of Curry Chips and it also came with the 3 sauces ie their signature garlic sauce, signature spicy sauce and signature yoghurt sauce.  Her wrap was delicious with lots of vegetables in the wrap with the meat, but the chips which she received was very cold (we did not ask for this to be changed).  Both the food portions are huge for the amount of money we paid for and if you are a student, I would say that this could feed two people easily.

About German Doner Kebab

Doner Kebab is a fast food retailer that has created a healthy and nutritionally balanced approach to traditional kebabs.

They opened our first store in Berlin in 1989 and spent the next decade perfecting their policies and procedures, their unique blend of traditional spices and exclusive products, as well as refining and improving our innovative cooking processes.

Their kebabs are made from quality ingredients that are exclusive to Doner Kebab Restaurants. The great taste comes from the SECRET SAUCES that set our products apart, from our competitors.

They use lean succulent beef and pure chicken fillets. These meats are imported directly from Germany to maintain quality and consistency. They only use fresh, locally produced vegetables that are delivered and prepared daily along with their special Doner Kebab bread. These make the Doner Kebab a truly unique taste experience for our customers.

Their tried and tested methods are totally different to the way other operators make their kebabs. The result is a nutritionally sound gourmet food experience that contains virtually no preservatives or additives and can be consumed day or night. With a strong modern brand and the promotion of healthy, fresh, nutritious ingredients that appeals to a broad market, Doner Kebab can only continue to grow and succeed. Maintaining the authenticity and originality of thier kebabs is one of the main objectives of the business, and is the reason they continue to retain their market position at the top of the kebab industry.
